That’s OK! You’re busy, we get it. How do you just get started? Get yourself a clean 64-bit Linux
box that fits the system requirements. Make sure that curl is up to date
using sudoapt-getinstallcurl on Ubuntu, or sudoyuminstallcurlnss on RHEL/CentOS. Then run
this command:

The installation script is an opinionated installation of BWC. It assumes that you have a clean, basic
installation of Ubuntu or RHEL/CentOS, similar to what you get with a basic installation from ISO. If
you are trying to install BWC on a server with other applications running, you may run into problems.

The same applies for VMs that are built from special ‘templates’ provided by your IT department.
If they have customised $HOME locations, or changed default authentication methods, then the script may
break. Don’t worry though! Scroll down for the manual instructions for your specific OS. Follow those,
with any site-specific modifications you need.

The script itself is not idempotent. If you try to re-run the script on top of a failed installation, it
will almost certainly fail. Start again with a clean system, or switch to a manual install.

It will install and configure the stable version of StackStorm, as per the
single host reference deployment. The installation takes about 4 minutes. Once it
completes successfully, you will see the following output:

For security reasons, the installer script enables authentication and generates random
passwords for dependent services such as MongoDB and PostgreSQL.

If for some reason (e.g. debugging), you need to access those services directly you can find
passwords in the config files - /etc/st2/st2.conf for MongoDB and RabbitMQ password and
/etc/mistral/mistral.conf for PostgreSQL password.

If you want to install BWC on a host that does not have Internet access,

shows how to do it using a mirror.
